Chapter 374: Two Kinds of Golems

I have been immersed in it for a long time, and some of the events that the old man described that happened 1,400 years ago could not be walked out.

Although the old man is a little stubborn and conservative in some aspects, and is incompatible with the current society, he is not a pedantic person who is not immobile and flexible at all, so like his style of speaking and acting, he will paint the spirit school from the establishment, to the wide collection of disciples to establish a school, and then to experience a short peak period, and finally to the fall, completely withdraw from the historical stage, and turn into a single lineage of all the stories are written in detail and very popular, so that people can understand at a glance, and there is no need to spend time to understand.

In front of the tomb of his beloved, after kneeling down to the founding patriarch Li Changmeng and Chen An to apologize, Wu Yue, who cast the heinous sin, chose to commit suicide and stabbed himself through the heart with a knife, and then was scattered by Li Changmeng's patriarch, and there was no trace of the yin and yang worlds. After the secret agent in charge of tracking by the imperial court arrived, he was cut off again, and brought back to the capital Chang'an with his body, and finally hung on the gate of Chang'an to show the public, so rotten that only the skeleton fell off.

This is the fate of Wu Yue, the first and most destructive traitor of the Painting Spirit School.

As for the painting that inhabited the soul of Wu Yue's beloved and had a great relationship with the production of the Yan puppet, before Patriarch Li Changmeng arrived, he also dispersed the soul after he made a final farewell.

Of course, these are secondary, the main thing is that, according to the old man's records, in the end, before Wu Yue committed suicide, the patriarch Li Changmeng seemed to have forgiven him, at least in his personal capacity, and re-recognized him as a disciple, otherwise he would not have told him the status quo of the Painting Spirit School, which had long been known to the world, let alone call himself a teacher.

These are all evidence that Patriarch Li Changmeng forgave Wu Yue and recognised him as a disciple. Therefore, if the old man's record is correct and his expression is correct, in the end, Wu Yue is a disciple of the Painting Spirit School, and he is judged by the old man on behalf of the Painting Spirit School, not the common people in the world, let alone the identity of the number one criminal in the imperial court. Again, there's a big difference.

And judging from the various signs in the records, Wu Yue is not really a person who has completely abandoned his conscience and lost his conscience, in fact, he still has a conscience in his heart, and he has committed so many crimes, and he has always been deeply scorched and tormented by conscience and morality.

It's just that in his heart, there is one thing that he has to do, even if he violates his conscience and is the enemy of the world.

This matter was to kill the emperor, completely overthrow the Sui Empire he represented, and establish a new dynasty.

However, if you think about it carefully, it is not true to say this, Wu Yue did everything he could to overthrow the huge machine of the Sui Dynasty, but all kinds of signs also show that he did not establish a new dynasty by himself from beginning to end, and his ambition to sit on the world was purely for the sake of overthrowing.

"He rebelled against the emperor, but he never wanted to be the emperor, so what made him have such a big motive to abandon all moral conscience, even if he betrayed his teacher and sinned the people of the world, he had to do it?"

Tuo has not been interested in history since he was a child, and feels that it is a waste of youth to spend time memorizing the things of the feudal era hundreds of thousands of years ago, and the history teachers I have met since childhood are not beautiful teachers who want to study hard at a glance, not obscene idiots at a glance, or the "blessing" of bad old men, my history has always been very poor, and I forced myself to learn in order to cope with the exam, and I returned it to the history teacher after the exam, and now I don't even remember the dynasties that appeared in the entire history of Chinese civilization. Therefore, it is impossible to know all the things in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and can only remember a general idea and the names of some key people.

What's more, there is something about the Painting Spirit School, which should also be a secret and sensitive event at that time, not to mention the official history, even the wild history is not recorded word by word, so it is impossible to analyze Wu Yue's motives from historical knowledge.

So after briefly going through it again, there was still no definite answer to all kinds of information about Wu Yue's life, and I was going to give up and focus on more important things.

As the so-called intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, that is, when I was about to give up, my eyes suddenly swept to a few words about the woman who no longer knew her name when she persuaded Wu Yue to draw herself into the painting.

There is no doubt that these are all truths that Wu Yue told truthfully when he finally repented in front of his teacher, and finally was recorded by Patriarch Li Changmeng, and it was passed down little by little.

This sentence is that the official lady said that her illness was not innate, but when she was born three months ago, the king of Jin rode by, startling passers-by at the same time, but also frightened the mother who was holding her at the time, so that she got rid of her hands, so that she rolled into the river in the middle of winter, and when she was fished out, she was unconscious, her face was blue, and her family thought that she couldn't live, but in the end she survived, and the stubborn disease that could not be cured fell from that time.

King of Jin, King of Jin......

was a little stunned, and after staring at these two words for a while, he suddenly realized that Wu Yue's motive for not giving up if he didn't see the fall of the Sui Dynasty.

I see.

Suddenly, I understood the reason, shook my head, and let out a sigh in my heart.

Although I still don't think there is anything to forgive this person forgive, at least he can understand it somewhat.

However, just like the belief that I have cultivated since I was a child, and that what has happened for hundreds of thousands of years is meaningless to be studied now, and what has happened cannot be changed. So after smiling wryly and sighing a few times, he put away his thoughts, reopened the "Painting the Past Stories" written by the old man and continued to look down.

The first half of the old man's record is mainly about the events that happened before Wu Yue's suicide, including his upbringing, the great change in his heart, the origin of the Yan puppet, and the various events experienced by the Painting Spirit School from its establishment to its destruction. And in the second half, it is mainly to end him as the culprit, and after giving an explanation to the people of the world, the painting spirit school continues to be passed on in a single way, and there are things about the "soul holding spirit chapter" in the three arts of painting spirits, including how to get rid of the Yan puppet.

When Wu Yue finally repented, he once said that he was the first person to walk on that road in the Painting Spirit School, but he would never be the only one to take that road, and he also told Patriarch Li Changmeng and Chen An some of his thoughts and practical experience about blocking this road, so that they could take more trouble and find a way to avoid future generations from repeating the mistakes of the past.

This sentence unfortunately came true, not only in later generations, but even at that time, there were some people who, like Wu Yue, discovered the most evil and destructive side of painting spirits. And even more unfortunately, even the patriarch Li Changmeng, who created the painting spirit technique, has not really found a way to crack it in his life, and he is still like this, not to mention the people behind him, what the patriarchs have done from generation to generation is only in terms of external conditions, or moral standards, and the level of selecting disciples, and do their best to avoid future generations from embarking on this path, and the problem itself has not been fundamentally changed.

found that the problem could not be solved, which is also the reason why Patriarch Li Changmeng dispersed Wu Yue's soul and really entered his old age, more or less negative psychology appeared, and he was no longer obsessed with painting the inheritance of spiritual arts.

As the old man has already told me, at the beginning, in order to avoid, there is still a high possibility that the remnants of the "Shengyuan Sect" that have not been cleared will reappear, and the orthodoxy of painting spirits cannot compete with it, Li Changmeng's ancestor simply set up a separate "Soul Detention Palm Spirit Chapter", which is collectively called "Three Techniques of Painting Spirits" together with the art of induction, but not many years after his death, Chen An, who took over the painting spirit school, found that this would not work at all, because the disciple Yuan Qingmao accepted three disciples in a row, and after mastering the method of ordering the soul and teaching the method of soul detention, The mind is completely transformed and falls into the evil path. Not only the disciples, but even Yuan Qingmao himself began to become more and more addicted to studying this technique, and there were not good signs.

In desperation, Chen An had no choice but to order Yuan Qingmao to burn all the books on the "Soul Detention Chapter", leaving no words, and from then on, he could only teach it orally, after passing many tests in the disciple's mental character, and finally it was controlled and passed down smoothly.

In order to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, Yuan Qingmao's fourth disciple was only his disciple in name, but in fact, most of the time it was taught by his teacher Chen An, and he must not be easily involved. And in order to balance the once trusted by himself, he thought that he had witnessed the rise and fall of the entire sect, and he would not change, but now his heart has begun to show signs of change, but Yuan Qingmao, who has not reached the critical point of the outbreak, and Patriarch Chen An, who is more than 100 years old, also dragged his breath to suppress it alive, until the fourth generation of painters finally became a great weapon, and Yuan Qingmao, who had no ambition for life, also passed away first, and he closed his eyes with confidence.

And when it came to me, the "Soul Detention Palm Spirit Chapter" is more than a part of the program, and compared to the soul arrest, the "Soul Palm Spirit" is more gentle. Although there is no difference in nature, they are all orders to the soul of living creatures, stripping their soul flesh, but in nature it is much more decent, I have long learned the "Soul Returning Map", which belongs to one of the more basic ones, when I inadvertently came into contact with this picture, in fact, it is also a test for me by the old man, intentionally.

In addition, there are many positive effects on the palm spirit, which are basically used to save people or animals, or to prolong life. For example, since my grandfather got along with the old man day and night, his brain has become more and more sober, and he has become more and more energetic, because after the old man fell asleep, he secretly removed his soul twice, and asked for two heavy karma, and went to the underworld to go down to the eighteenth layer of hell of the wandering soul, refining it into the essence of the soul, and letting the grandfather's soul absorb it.

This method cannot be called the right path, but in any case, it can be regarded as being used in the right way.

For another example, if a person loses his soul and can't get it back by the means of ordinary mages and Taoist priests, he can also directly claim it back by detaining the soul and holding the spirit, as long as there is no soul scattered, or he is not locked to Huangquan Road by the shadow, no matter how far he goes, he can claim it back.

In short, after stepping from the "Guiding Spirit" to the "Soul", the spiritual map really has the charm that a painting should have, even if it is the same picture, it can also become different in style. When it comes to the "Soul Detention Chapter", it can basically no longer be limited by the many limitations of the spiritual map, and the map has become just a bridge and tool to achieve the purpose, no longer occupies an absolute main position, and the use has become diverse, and the extent to which it can go depends entirely on its own comprehension ability and creativity, and is no longer taught by the teacher as if it were a textbook.

As for the more domineering and evil word "soul detention", to what extent it can be evil, the old man didn't say much, but only focused on the origin of the Yan puppet and the method of suppression and elimination.

Because there is also a difference between passive and active golems, they are involuntary, but they don't know their own situation, and they are voluntary, and they have cognition of their own situation, so the methods of dealing with them will be different. The former can be broken as long as the connection between the puppet and the master can be interrupted, so that it suddenly wakes up, and the latter, because of a clear understanding of its own situation, is also dead enough to the master, it will be much more troublesome to deal with, and it is no longer possible to use this relatively mild way to crack it, and it needs to be suppressed by strong means.

And among these suppressive methods, the simplest and most effective one is to find the painting where the puppet lives, seal it in the illusion of the painting and cannot get out of it, and then use a spiritual map called "Taishang Laojun Bagua Demon Refining Map" to incinerate it along with the painting with the power of Samadhi True Fire. It's just that the golem is born with an unusually keen sense of danger, and it comes and goes without a trace, and the painting it lives in is also under the absolute protection of its owner, so although this method is intuitive and effective enough to solve the problem once and for all, it is actually difficult to achieve.

In addition, there are some drawings with imprison, tracking, and even waking up the golem in the chaos. If these figures are used on ordinary powerful souls, they can be killed directly, but because Yan Golems will leave a part of their Yuan Souls in the painting at any time, and even if the wandering part is destroyed, they will gradually recover their characteristics, so these methods, if they encounter the kind that voluntarily become Yan Golems, most of them will become palliatives rather than cures, and they can usually only be used for tracking.

In short, if you are unfortunate enough to encounter this one, the only way to eradicate it is to find the painting where it lives.

"That being the case, which kind of puppet does Xie Yifan raise?"

There is no doubt that no matter which one it is, since the old man has told me so much, it is necessary for me to master all these methods of dealing with the Yan puppet as soon as possible. Only in this way can I help when I need it in the future, and I can really take charge of myself, otherwise with my current ability, I can't get any benefit from facing the Yan puppet at all, and it's just a fish to be slaughtered on the chopping board.
